Your Role and Responsibilities
Data Scientists convert business problems into an analytics solution using
their consulting skills, business knowledge to analyze client business issues,
formulate hypotheses and test conclusions to determine appropriate solutions
methods. A solid foundation typically in statistics, modeling, operations
research, computer science and applications, and math. What sets the data
scientist apart is strong business acumen, coupled with the ability to
communicate findings to both business and IT leaders in a way that can
influence how an organization approaches a business challenge. Good data
scientists will not just address business problems, they will pick the right
problems that have the most value to the organization. A data scientist is
effective at deploying an analytics solution, thereby realizing business
value. Whereas a traditional data analyst may look only at data from a single
source - a CRM system, for example - a data scientist will most likely
explore and examine data from multiple disparate sources. The data scientist
will extract, transform, and combine all incoming data with the goal of
discovering a previously hidden insight, which in turn can provide a
competitive advantage or address a pressing business problem. A data scientist
does not simply collect and report on data, but also builds statistical
models, determines what it means, then recommends ways to apply the data. Data
scientists are inquisitive: exploring, asking questions, doing "what if"
analysis, questioning existing assumptions and processes. Armed with data,
modeling expertise, and analytical results, a top-tier data scientist will
then communicate informed conclusions and recommendations across an
organization's leadership structure. Influences Functional Strategy.
